Senior Software Engineer




Talk: The road to developers' hearts

Abstract:
I have been a software developer for 15 years and have worked in the security space since 2017. I have built security products at scale over the last few years. I work closely with various job roles, including Software engineers, Security engineers, Program and engineering managers. In addition, I am an enthusiastic security advocate and champion across multiple teams. During this journey, I learned a lot of things that software engineers dislike about dealing with their security counterparts. I also learned how we helped bridge the gap. I would like to share those insights with security professionals who are interested in learning more. My views are based on my own experience and not those of my employer.
